This means that local and county and State cops and departments can easily resume confiscating cash from anyone who is pulled over and searched.....and it becomes a FEDERAL case,....But they get as much as 70% of the stolen property.

It is known as Civil Asset Forfeiture. THe cops can take your money or property and you have to prove where it came from....Not that they have to prove that it is ill gotten gains. You are, in essence guilty until proven innocent. ANd to prove your innocence, you get to go up against a Federal Prosecutor.

How many times just prior to the bombing did the "authorities" tell people that "there is no credible threat"...Just like we hear here in the United States?

How is it that the Police in and around Brussels were able to know who to arrest immediately after the bombing at the airport? And in France and Germany as well.....("Round up all the usual suspects").....If they knew who these people were, and they were able to break up an attack in the "late planning stages" then why were these people at large?

If the landlord where these folks rented an apartment was aware that the tenants were "odd" and used a fake name and that the apartment had a lot of chemical smells and liquids that leaked through the ceiling of the apartment below (according to CBS news) that smelled of chemicals.....Why didn't he bother to report it to the cops? Lessee here: Paid cash, put a fake name on the mailbox, chemical smells, lots of Islamic visitors coming and going......Nah, nothing to see here folks, move along......

(I figure, from the descriptions given, that they were making "Mother of Satan"....TATP. Not for the timid. It isn't stable....and it is...energetic. Don't ask me how I know.)

(Of course, I hadda get a chain so I could hang it from the bucket, and a swivel so that I wouldn't damage the scale with a live load, but hey, even guys get to accessorize, right?)

Now, my small tractor will pick up about 1950 lbs at the end of the bucket if the conditions are right, and I move a lot of things, so I wanted to find out how much, exactly, some of those things weigh.

I learned that the bucket for the backhoe (which I can sorta pick up and scoot, but barely) weighs about 268 lbs.

I learned that the wedges of wood that I pick up and put on the splitter weigh from 140-230 lbs. I can carry those...mostly.

The pieces that I cannot quite pick up weigh in around 320 lbs.

The big 35" rounds from which I make the above pieces weigh in from 550 to 780 lbs.

The plate that I made for the boom so I could pick things up higher weighs about 172 lbs. No wonder I have issues moving it....The Bush Hog (that I cannot move by myself at all) weighs 694 lbs.

I learned that the log tongs I made a year ago twist at about 1750 lbs. ( now I gotta spend time with the press to make 'em flat again, but hey, I hadda find out, right?)

Now, at least, I know.

I had thought that I was weaker than that, actually. No wonder my knees hurt after splitting wood.

How do we know that average nice guy who is a Muslim won't suddenly suffer from Sudden Jihad Syndrome? It HAS happened here, and it will again.

Ar you willing to risk your children and family?

(I find it sad, because I know many seemingly decent people who are muslim......?)

I am all for letting people practice their religion as they see fit (as long as it fits our Constitution and harms no one) but it has to be a two way street....and with Islam, it doesn't seem to be any way but their version of Islam. In fact, Muslims are the largest killers of Muslims...because the muslims they kill practice a different version of the "Religion of Peace".

PLEASE, PLEASE, learn the difference (and the proper usage) between"Brake" and "Break"....especially when referring to things firearm related. Even more so if you are advertising or otherwise trying to sell me a product.

Ferinstance:

It is a "Thumb BREAK holster"....

And it is a "Muzzle Brake" on the end of the barrel.
Break and Brake are not interchangeable. Just because spellcheck passes it does not mean it is the right usage. Look up the definitions if you are unsure.

In a few weeks, we will be just as complacent as we were on Monday. Not paying attention. Not bothering. Not caring. Who won on "Survivor" or whatever will be the hot topic, along with the latest news from the elections.

Right now, there are men with badges dressed in black with masks covering their faces in many public spaces, showing a military-like presence....intimidatingly carrying AR rifles. Some folks find that comforting. I find it amusing. Firstly, because in a week or two, they will be gone. Secondly because if they need those rifles today, then they will need them next week or next month or sometime in the future....but they won't be carrying them then, not when the next attack happens. Thirdly, because a rifle isn't much good against a suicide bomber in a crowded area. What, except for comforting our more rabbit-like citizens, are they doing? If there is a good reason to carry a rifle TODAY, then there is a good reason to carry them everywhere, every day. They (the officers) look intimidating and warlike, but really, what good are they doing? (Let us not, at this time, bother with the fact that the face masks are for NIGHTTIME operations, to hide their white faces, not for daytime use) What good is a menacing presence in some spaces doing to enhance our security? Are all those men doing anything besides menacing the population and getting the citizens used to an armed presence in their public spaces?

And the people lining up to have their bags searched....Really? Why, if the bombers want to inflict damage and bloodshed and pain and terror would they not choose to detonate them in the non secure (but crowded) areas in front of a checkpoint? They will still kill and wound many. People will still die. Terror will still occur. People will still be afraid.... It matters little where the bomb goes off.....

If the terrorists are patient, they know that next week they will have another chance, in another area, and that they will be as unimpeded as they were on Monday. They play a long game, not a short one....Chess or Go, rather than checkers, as the West does.

So what, exactly, besides giving the police a bunch of overtime, are they accomplishing?

So I have these new red plastic "water" cans. Oddly, some folks use 'em as fuel cans, don't know why. I use 'em for, of course, water.... These are the ones that the EPA "fixed" the design on several years ago...

They suck......It takes about 7 minutes to completely empty one.....They have the new design "venting" spout. Which means that the can can't empty very fast because the "venting"spout really doesn't work well.

The followers of the "religion of Peace" seem to be the only ones who are blowing things (and people) up, (now that the IRA has faded, anyway)....

I am over 50 years old (get off my lawn!) and as far back as I can remember, with the exception of the Irish it has been the followers of Mohammad that have done the hijackings, the kidnaps and the terror......And the Irish tried very hard not to hurt anyone....calling ahead to make sure that no one was around when the bombs went off. .

These terrorists don't do their work in a vacuum, by themselves. The Irish had people helping them, and hiding them, and stashing their equipment, and FUNDING them.

Same thing with these terrorists of Islam. Someone is paying their bills. Someone in Brussels hid them, fed them, aided them and allowed them to do the work that it took to plan and execute this attack. 'twasn't done in a vacuum. Someone FUNDED this attack, with funds to live, funds to make and buy the equipment necessary.

They went to a Mosque,....where?. Who knew? Who delivered packages? Who helped?

Until the rest of the Muslims stop hiding these people, start reporting them, they will always be pariahs. Always suspect. Never trusted.

Now, if those people were legally carrying the firearms, and not trespassing, what charges can be brought? If they never threatened the newly minted mercenaries freshly badged contractors that were dressed as Federal Agents, then under what laws are any arrests valid?

I'd like to know.

(I heard stories that the agents were watching the crowd through their scopes (which were still mounted to the AR's) and some of the crowd were scoping them back, but still, I doubt that meets even the criteria of menacing)

We shall see. It may be that this is just a tactic to make the rest of us remember and be cautious next time...

Gunned down in cold blood. He (really) was an honor student, with a great future (really!) in front of him.

Sadly, for the Black Lives Matter folks, he wasn't killed by a white cop. Or even by a white man (Supposition, but there are few white people in that part of Chicago at night that aren't cops....).

But seriously though...a young man, 16 years old, is dead. Shot by someone (this time not a cop though)...Where are the protests? The rioting? The screaming, fulminating hatred by the Black Lives Matter folks? Where is Jesse (the Reverend) Jackson? Where is Barry Obama? Where are all the other Black leaders who raised so much hell when a black criminal was shot by police? Where are they now?

Or do Black lives shot by other Blacks of no matter? Or is it because they can't make news and gain power with incidents like this???

I don't care who you are, Man or Woman, no matter your ethnicity, when your belly laps over the waistband of your pants that far, you are FAT. Not "Heavy", not "Big Boned", not "plump", nor "Rubenesque"...

Think about this. The Party leadership wants to stop the front runner because he isn't their first choice....(He isn't mine either, to be honest)...So the Party no longer represents the bulk of it's supporters. It won't support, and is ACTIVELY WORKING AGAINST, the current pick of the majority of it's voters.

And they wonder why I hang up on 'em when they call for donations.

I wonder, sometimes, how many of these professional protesters are paid for by the GOP rather than the DNC?

Bring it, Tyrone. More of us than of you. We armed. We practice.....A lot... We won't put up with the shit you pulled in St Louis and Baltimore. Most of the mayors won;t let you riot. Neither will the rest of the non-black citizens let you destroy their neighborhoods.

Words are cheap.Once you leave your neighborhoods you will find the burning and looting more difficult. More costly.

While I do think that SOME of these personnel have a need and a reason to carry a firearm, most don't.

If they need to do law enforcement things, then they should get law enforcement support.

Much like the Department of Education fielding a SWAT team, there is overreach...not only are they redundant, they are wasting our money on both personnel and training and equipment. Some agents of the government actually do need to be armed. This does not mean all do.

FAA inspectors seldom have need for a firearm. Same Same Fisheries agents. Same Dept of Energy.

Not sure where the BLM folks fall. I did think that hiring contractors for the Bundy ranch thing a few years ago was kinda stupid. Was more a job for the Sheriff or the State Police.

I can never see the BLM or the Forest Service or Parks Department needing a subgun.

Next time a leftist or a communist (yeah, I know, redundant) wants to speak, do we conservatives get to shout and riot and defy the police to keep 'em from speaking? Will the Mayor of Chicago keep the police on a leash and prevent them from enforcing the rule of law as was done in Chicago over the Trump incident on Friday? Or will the standards change again and will we be arrested for disturbing the peace? Will the press ignore it if we buss in hundreds of paid protesters and provide them all with shirts and signs?

How about the next time some Allah Ackbar! type wants to speak in a mosque? Can we shout and protest (and employ violence) in order to keep him from preaching violence against the infidel? Or will the Powers decide that that is again protected free speech (as it should be) and arrest people who protest?

And while I live in Indiana, our television stations are Chicago based.

I expect the Attack Ads every election season, that is part of the Chicago way. Aimed at the low information voter and the Party Faithful, they are mean spirited...."So and so is a terrible person, they eat children and hate puppies and rainbows"

most disadvantaged have a car, a television, a cell phone and plenty to eat. What they now bleat about is income disparity, completely ignoring the truth that capitalism, while perhaps increasing the gap between the richest and poorest, has managed to increase the absolute wealth of everyone.But that isn't what the Liberal/Progressives want:The Iron Lady said it best:

(around here, "he was a beginner" and "underprepared"....and certainly needed more ammo....)

But in New York, he was, apparently, a serious threat.....although I doubt any of the charges stick, seeing as all the guns were legal. And Smokeless powder is a propellant, not an explosive. At best they will get him for "improper storage".

The dogs adoptive family did the right thing. I am sure that it was hard on them. Kudos to the family for making the hard, but right, decision.

K2 Solutions and the Pentagon should be beaten, then tarred and feathered....then really punished. Anyone in that chain who has made the decision to give the dogs up for adoption without offering them to their handlers first needs to lose their job (or funding) and be barred from such positions of authority for life.

First of all, there is LOTS of bluster in nearly any Islamic group of males, and very little fight.. (although those that DO fight are somewhat competent and fairly fearless, I am told). Little organization, and not much education. Plus they aren't gonna get much support flying the ISIS flag.

Second, the Soldiers of Odin have the home turf advantage. Likely better weapons. More support from the populace. Plus Viking Blood and all that.

This shall be interesting.... I bet it happens sooner rather than later. That's what happens when someone invades rather than assimilating.

Gonna happen here sometime too...different invaders, but no less anger.

Stuff you should have:#1

If you are in or near NW Indiana:

μολὼν λαβέ

This phrase was reportedly the defiant response of King Leonidas I of Sparta to Xerxes I of Persia when Xerxes demanded that the Greeks lay down their arms and surrender prior to the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC.
